Not to be outdone by the Wii Plus and Microsoft's newly announced camera-based Project Natal, Sony today showed off a new gesture-based controller for the PlayStation 3, scheduled to ship in spring of 2010.
Still in the development stages, the prototype of the device resembles a microphone with an illuminated color-changing orb on the end. Based on the demo, the new device appears to have great precision, making it possible to use it to control weapons and characters, and even draw on walls.

Now that's what you call a tough challenge for both Nintendo and Microsoft. Both came up with great projects that gamers will look forward to. I hope both companies would consider the price, coz I don't want to give up playing World of Warcraft just to purchase their gadgets in the future. ^^

This would be great if you could actually play all games with it.Like the Wii, I would assume the game would have to be designed around the controller, so playing Battlefield Bad Company with something like this would be impossible, due to the fact that all buttons on the DS3 are used.This is going to be another niche based device for games only intended to be used by it. If someone could come up with a peripheral that lets you aim and shoot, it would be a blessing for us who suffer with poor aim controls in some of these FPS. All these games and plastic attachments and developers don't implement 2 of the most basic devices for gaming, mouse and keyboard
